Parsing problem

'Just for testing, you can locate three listboxes on your form (List1, List2 and List3) and use the code below instead of the code in the command button click event above:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim c As Integer

Call ParseHtmlFile("c:\My Documents\test.html")

For c = 0 To UBound(MetaTags.strName)
    List1.AddItem MetaTags.strName(c)
Next c

For c = 0 To UBound(MetaTags.strLang)
    List2.AddItem MetaTags.strLang(c)
Next c

For c = 0 To UBound(MetaTags.strContent)
    List3.AddItem MetaTags.strContent(c)
Next c
End Sub

Hi guys

I think a little clarification is in order.

The only thing that interest us are the following meta tags:

<meta name="xdescription" lang="xx" content="xxxx">
<meta name="xtitle" lang="xx" content="xxxx">
<meta name="xkeywords" lang="xx" content="xxxx">

the three tags above can be present more then one time with different values for the lang parameter (and the content param as well)

<meta name="xlevel" content="xx">


<meta name="xthreadid" content="xx"> this tag is optional (may not be present)

After consideration, for the storage;
kindly load these in the following structure

type xProps
  lang as string
  title as string
  description as string
  keywords as string
end type

type xMetas
  docprops() as xProps
  threadid as long
  level as long
end type


I'm sorry for all the work, but I'm not that good anymore with string parsing because I need to do projects in many different languages (vb, html, javascript, asp, php,... and lately they descided to start teaching me assembly as well --- argh!)

If it's ok with you guys, the "input" is found in strBuffer
